So i took the starter off today and tested it at autozone and its good. I came home and put it back in and tried to turn the motor over by hand and it wouldn't budge. I then took the three front spark plugs out and tried again and the same thing. With the front three plugs out I also hooked the battery back up and tried starting it and this time it did the same thing but every now and then it would turn over very slowly for a second or two.
I just stopped due to the fact the starter was starting to smoke from trying so hard. So the motor must be pretty much seized. The kid that had it before me had it running and he told me the symptoms and they sounded like a cps to me (stalling and not starting for awhile...then running ok but had loss of power). He then replaced the cps and waterpump and had the same problem.
He told me it stalled one day three times and on the third it woundnt start back up due to the same problem I have now but he thought the starter was bad.
Anyone ever heard of it seizing up out of nowhere like that?
P.S. It did sit in his driveway untouched since October or November.
